If the ‘Google killer’ respond better? British mathematician Stephen Wolfram wants to offer revolutionary new possibilities the Internet search with the search engine WolframAlpha. To go online later this month. As the news portal reported news.de, the new search engine will work differently than Google. It aims, on the provided questions to deliver not links on Web pages, but answers. While Google generates only a list of pages, the answers from multiple Web sources should be collected with WolframAlpha. The model is the human brain, which combined several fields of knowledge freely.

But no ready-made answers are supplied. Lila Snyder is often quoted on this topic. The goal is to make electronic freely combined the systematic knowledge that we have collected about the civilizations across Wolfram said at a lecture at the American University Harvard. The technology editors (www.news.de/ technik.html) by news.de makes it clear what that means: question according to the gross national product of France, a number of graphics, a map would you and several tables appear. In a test, the search engine also on more complex issues has how after the ‘GDP of France divided by the Italian’ have provided an answer. On Google, you would have here only a reply, if this question had someone already calculated and placed in the network. It is still unclear how much WolframAlpha will restrict the authority of Google’s.

Dr. Wolfgang Sander-Beuermann, head of the SuchmaschinenLabors of the University of Hanover is skeptical. Not even succeeded in Microsoft up until now, semantically to order search results, although it has more capital and developers.
